There was a contest for something like $10,000 to see who could be first to successfully install WindowsXP on the Intel based Macs. Looks like Apple won.

Spammers be gone! April 5, 2006 9:33 am

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life , add a comment

I’ve done away with the Did You Pass Math plugin (at least temporarily) so that people can comment without having to compute. Instead, I’m trying on Spam Karma 2. My worry is that Spam Karma will produce too many false positives; that is, labeling legitimate comments as spam. I did not have the worry of false positives with Did You Pass Math but I fear that false negatives were too frustrating to readers. I just wish Spammers would go away.

Last night I was up but only semi-conscious and in no way eager to get out of bed to make the appropriate post at the time. Cathy had pointed out to me that we had an outstanding time last night. At 1:23am we had 1:23 4/5/6! Won’t happen again for 100 years.
